It’s so beautiful out here, the people are great, the opportunities here are boundless and it’s just a great place. Also, things won’t always happen as quickly as you’d like them to [but] being impatient doesn’t get things done any quicker.”

Jon Schubert, Thomas Ligocki, and David McFarlane on opportunities, confidence, and exploration.

“Move to British Columbia as soon as possible. It’s so beautiful out here, the people are great, the opportunities here are boundless and it’s just a great place. Also, things won’t always happen as quickly as you’d like them to [but] being impatient doesn’t get things done any quicker.”

Thomas Ligocki, President and CEO, Clevest Solutions Inc.


“I would say sometimes younger people doubt themselves too much. You need to listen to your gut feeling, and to listen to yourself and to take in what everyone is saying – not just what a few people are saying – but then to judge for yourself.”

David McFarlane, Vice-President, EllisDon Corp.


“I would take more time in exploring all the different opportunities that were presented to me. Even though I have seen the estimating side, the project management side, and now the management side of it, I think I’ve fallen short on seeing the field side of it.”
